I'm not sure if I'm "back" seeing as now I didn't formally leave, I just have no concept of time. Between dealing with actual responsibilities (if school can be called that) and a naturally scattered mind, I just don't have a proper concept of time these days.

I am a hardcore atheist that believes in the radical Scientism ideas laid down by Christopher Dawkins and his ilk.

I will debate anyone on PD or Youtube, anytime, any rules. I just completed a course in Argumentation and Debate. In this class I was able to achieve a grade of A. I am on drugs right now."I think the class had trouble following your reasoning" - Prof. "M""You need to dress appropriately and maintain eye contact with EVERYONE" - Prof. "2cool"

No. Free will is a fiction, though it seems to be an almost universally necessary one for the functioning of human society.

I don't know about that. The knowledge that delicious cake taste is "merely" chemo receptors sending electrical impulses to the tasty portion of the brain doesn't seem to stop many people from enjoying food.

Ironically (maybe), the full belief I now have that free will basically doesn't exist has made me more conscientious of my decisions. Is this true for you?

The human appreciation for art in all its forms doesn't have - to my knowledge - any survival value, so I am at present assuming that there's more to the story than just biology.

A quick note on this:(Apologies: I have nothing, no articles or anything, to back up what I'm about to say. This is all from memory.)

Certain things that humans crave fall outside of survival value, but are still related to it. For example: we crave sweets and fats and this guides us to eat what our bodies need. But there are certain tastes and smells that trigger this to an extreme, beyond survival value, but they stem from those same nerves. Example: cheesecake is fatty and sugary and super delicious, and with no knowledge of nutrition, one might be compelled to eat only cheesecake over a more nutritious but less stimulating food.

This impulse to be attracted to super-stimuli (a word that I may have just made up) can extend to all of our senses. Certain sounds are more or less desirable for survival reasons, and so a sonic super-stimuli like music would be like cheesecake for the ears. Likewise with visual art, where we are attracted to certain angles and colors for survival reasons, but a particularly aesthetic painting might be like eye cheesecake.

Of course, this is just theoretic, some food for thought. Many evolutionary ideas are not falsifiable, and this idea certainly falls under that category.

Hey dudes, what's going on in here? I see we have a new user! Awesome! I always get super stoked when there's a new Discordian to welcome to the board. Naturally, I haven't read the thread, it's about 11 so I'm fairly drunk, but I can only assume that our new friend has been filled in on our many wacky jokes and memes. I really hope you enjoy your stay with us.

I thought this would be a good place to start to get the ropes. Hello my name darion going by gonzo chaos has holds of me. and society ahs lost touch of me for quite sum of time. please enlighten me oh wise ones.

What the fuck is this piece of shit supposed to mean? I not sure I understood a single thing after "I thought", which demonstrated you had already told a huge lie within 2 words. No thinking person would consider blasting my dick with the retarded word salad that assaulted me in that second sentence unless they had some sort of grudge against me. If we could weaponize crimes against the English language, that sentence would be a WMD. The reason society lost touch with you is because is had a attend counseling after being raped by one of your "thoughts." Get the fuck down off of my obstacle.

Bring this mustang guy to me. He is in pain from years of not being appreciated.For some reason no one thought Sweating Bullets and Addicted to Chaos were fun songs.I will hug him.I will heal him. I will release the douche.I will give back the man.

Air - Roger - nothing needs to be said, we all have our own fart jokes, butthole and mouthEarth- Mang - I imagine this is what the ground looks like. This was based on a rumor thoughFire - Cain - you knowWater- LMNO - Don't drink yourself to death, it looks painfulAether- P3nt - If you aren't calling death a cunt you aren't having fun. seems lively.

With all the name and avatar changing I get confused in here.Therefore, I will only recognize a small number of posters as real.Everyone else will be referred to as Foam (I wanted it to be Pink but I know how "you people" get with colors, fucking addicts).

Number of real posters shall be...uh.... What's a reasonable number? 5? Of course.We'll do 5.

All I know of them was a Louis Theroux doc. Seemed pretty convincing. Bunch of dumb as fuck people, bringing their children up to be twice as dumb. Their ideology seemed like it had already gone beyond thought out and into the realms of "because I was brainwashed to think it"

I watched that. The Ultimate Horror Mirth. They could be our own Midwest Saudi Arabia if we could just get them bigger.Though I found calling Louis a jack-weasel to be a little extreme.
